Hello 2011...

I just realized that I have not written on my blog since 2009. WOW.
Where has the time gone??

2010 was a very busy year in the craftshow world. I did a minimum of one every month from April to December. Some were successful, some were NOT. I cannot quit my 'day job' yet, but it's fun. I think my most favorite show is the First Friday Indie Market. Lots of familiar faces in a great location, close to home. I am looking forward to Craft Show "Season" starting up again in April.

I created a second website on Etsy for my button jewelry: SweetAnnaCreations. I decided to move all my button earrings and hair accessories to a separate site. It has done well. In one year i managed to make 79 sales. Of course, TBSCreations has suffered and not made as many sales.

Handmade Triad was also a big focus in 2010. We officially changed our name and created a website in early 2010. The first year in any group can be difficult. Since i was the one who created the team on Etsy back in 2009, I was chosen to be the "President" of Handmade Triad. I was honored to accept this position. Hopefully in 2011, i will become more comfortable with it and we will decide as a group what our responsibilities are. We have a lot of new members as the year has begun and I am very excited about them. Fresh faces, fresh ideas!

My focus in the next month is to get organized. It always is! My home is so UNorganized. It's a tough job when every time you get things cleaned up, it magically comes apart in no time! (IE - 5 yr old daughter, husband, giant dog, 3 cats, 2 jobs... you know.)

We'll see how this endeavor works out.
Here's to a productive and successful 2011!

My 1st FRONT PAGE!!

The picture of my Front Page is now listed on the Flickr Group.. They are sooo awesome for doing this.

I MADE THE FRONT PAGE OF ETSY!!!

WOW. Apparently I made the front page of Esty! And.......... i missed it.
Someone who was featured in this particular treasury, LatigoMoon, sent me a message to tell me about it. Unfortunately, it was around 3:00am Eastern Time.

Hopefully there will be a screenshot on the Flickr group with it and I can post it on my blog.
How exciting...and yet disappointing that I missed it...

Meanwhile, I have another treasury right now that is active... check it out: http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=69512

PEACE!

I'll add a screen shot when i get a chance...

Wholesale order!

I recently made a large order of fabric covered buttons for a fellow Etsian, EliteBabyDecor. I could not wait to see what she was going to do with allll those buttons. Pacifier clips!
Check them out on her shop. These would be GREAT for a baby shower gift, birthday, whatever. I wish i would have had one when my little one still had her paci. I am sure it would have prevented a lot of germy and dirty pacies.

Here are a few pictures:


Very cute!! Great job. I Cannot wait to see more...

Blog Feature

Look! I just found out I am featured on a fellow Etsian's blog... how nice!
